The first renderings have been revealed for 44 West 8th Street, a six-story residential building in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Designed by Idan Naor of INWORKSHOP Architecture for T30 Capital, the 74-foot-tall structure will span 28,846 square feet and yield five condominium units with an average scope of 3,733 square feet. The project will also include 3,237 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and 432 square feet of community facility space. The 50-foot-wide property is located between Sixth Avenue and MacDougal Street.
The above rendering shows the front northern profile from across West 8th Street, previewing a straightforward rectangular massing with a traditional architectural design. The façade will be composed of red brick surrounding recessed windows with stepped reveals, and will culminate in a corbeled cornice. The ground floor will be clad in light beige stone surrounding floor-to-ceiling glass for the retail frontage. Light fixtures mounted to the exterior will emphasize the textures in the façade at night.

Recent photographs show the topped-out reinforced concrete superstructure awaiting to see the brick cladding begin to enclose the front elevation. Crews have started to lay the brickwork on the eastern lot line wall, and should wrap around the northern face later this summer.

The property was formerly occupied by a low-rise commercial building, as seen in the below Google Street View image from before the start of demolition.

Homes will consist of three floor-through four-bedrooms, a two-bedroom home, and a duplex penthouse, all with direct elevator entry. Stephen Ferrara, Clayton Orrigo, and Ian Lefkowitz of the Hudson Advisory Team at Compass will handle sales and marketing, with a launch date slated for later this year.
The development is a short walk from the A, C, E, B, D, F, and M trains at the West 4th Street–Washington Square station along Sixth Avenue.
44 West 8th Street is anticipated finish construction in the first quarter of 2027.

A most beautiful design for five households.
As usual, the huge gaps of the insulation boards behind the brick makes the insulation basically useless. Contractors and city inspectors are much the same.
can you explain the issue wth the insulation boards? What is the problem? should be more consistent? honest question
If as you say it makes an appreciable difference, you’d think someone would have attempted to close this insulation gap problem by now..but I’m naive.
Gorgeous inside and out. Very appropriate design for the area. Well done!
nearby corner of 6th avenue and Christopher Street (one story taxpayer) is slated for development.
I hope the developers are positively influenced by this one, next door 181 MaDougal and 16 Fifth.
All welcome additions to the neighborhood.
Gorgeous. Though I do wish there wasn’t such a hesitancy (from community and approval agencies) about staggering heights. Making new buildings the same size as its neighbors doesn’t create as interesting a visual experience, IMHO. With exceptions for brownstone blocks…
